Arson, Murder, and Bubblegum

Yesterday I woke up feeling pretty crappy. I don’t know if it’s a holiday funk, perhaps the cold and the wetand the snow finally getting to me, or what, but all I wanted was to crawl back in bed and disappear for the day. It took a phone call (technically two) and skipping the train, (plus some time spent browsing TVtropes) to feel even remotely OK. Even…

Anyway, some fun quotes and ideas came out of this terrible, awful, nasty slump. I came up with the “And-Chew-Bubblegum Attitude,” which is whatever you happen to be left with when bubblegum is taken away: say that, like me, you “felt crappy and chewed bubblegum.” When you take away the bubblegum, feeling crappy is all you have left. I’m going to have to master this new turn of phrase and spread it EVERYWHERE.
